A new verse from new contributor Simon Hanson: shop lifting food prices again — Simon Hanson

#smallpoemsunday always gives me the opportunity to take the razor to poems that need it. Cc @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

Let’s sell some books!

A new found verse from returning contributor Joseph Tate: 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱. Teleporting is no fun. I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House. And I ended up at a Waffle House. Like 50 miles away. — Joseph Tate

After spending all day working at a library there’s no doubt in my mind this is where the other dreams happen

Refused to return to the ER last night. Instead, rode in a monster truck over a school bus today. Would have gone back if the ER could have ramped me in a monster truck. Instead, ERs suck and bruises, brakes, and tears heal.

happy birthday to me / buy my book

I’d be lonely too if I was hungry in Hungary but twice left on read. Hell, might consider jumping out of an airplane.

i hate when people shame others for mispronouncing a word they’ve only ever read. correct them, fine, but like let’s give grace to readers to talk about what they read.

Not gonna let a trip to the ER on day two ruin day three of the closest thing to a vacation I’ve had in 3+ years.

Still no flying cars but we got food you can't eat

We call this exact mindset/language "terrorism" when it's someone else's god

Mid trip to see my parents and grandparents, to give the kids a break from the car, made a random stop in Charlotte, NC, and I can see why men fear the big cities. (1/3)

Bible: In the end times there are gonna be charlatans who use my name to trick you into supporting evil and it will be incredibly obvious to everyone except you. Evangelicals: This section of the Bible has always been mysteriously vague.

Have a stabbing headache but I press on like nails

i think having a POV preference for the books you read is kinda silly. it’s the mindset of a consumer expecting to be catered to, rather than that of a reader who’s open to anything good.

Does it make you feel like Hemingway to have a byline? Writers hardly even get paid for the work they produce with their own minds! Why would you let a machine write some middling piece of shit blender story, slap your name on it, and feel proud? Have you no dignity?

Pulled something in my side/back so intensely that each movement is a whole new experience

How has Richard Gere never been nominated for an Oscar?

It’s Cinema Sunday (a thing I made up for today as an excuse to take a biblical day of rest and tune out the world while being as physically and mentally lazy as one can possibly be this side of sleep without just staring at the wall) y’all!

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended
